New words and phrases
Wang Yao first organized her ideas. She used the questions below to plan her writing.

What was his / her childhood like How did he / she become an astronaut early life
What personal qualities helped him / her become successful Are there any quotes that show these qualities personal qualities

Wang Yao searched for these types of information and made a table. Can you colour-code the different types of information
A. early life
B. key missions
C. honors
D. quote showing personal qualities
Read Wang Yao’s article and the different types of information from her notes.
Writing tip 1:
Use a clear structure (e.g. early life, personal qualities, key missions, achievements / honours).
Look at Wang Yao’s notes, and then compare them with the article. Which information did she not use Why do you think she left this part out
Wang Yao didn’t mention that Nie Haisheng loved reading when he was little. I think she left this out because it wasn’t as important as the other information.
Writing tip 2:
You don’t need to include all the information you collected. Try to focus on the most important and interesting information.
Look at the title and discuss the question.
Here’s a list of titles Wang Yao once
made for her article. Which is the
best Why
A. Nie Haisheng
B. Nie Haisheng: an astronaut
C. Nie Haisheng: a heroic astronaut
Writing tip 3:
Choose an eye-catching title that reflects the main idea of the article.
Sub-topics Words & expressions
Early life When ... was little, he / she ...
Personal qualities He / she was determined to ...
Key missions In [year], he / she finally went on his / her first ...
Achievements / Honors He / She was given the ...
Writing tip 4: Remember to use the past tense and the third person perspective.
Useful words and expressions
(an eye-catching title)
1. Use adjectives to describe his / her personal qualities:
Nie Haisheng —a heroic astronaut
2. Highlight important achievements with words like “first”:
Liu Yang—the first Chinese woman in space
3. Use gerunds to focus on the action:
Zhai Zhigang—stepping out of the spacecraft
Write your article. Try to give it an eye-catching title. Find a photo of the astronaut you are writing about and add it to the article.

Hello, everyone. I’m Li Hua. Today I would love to introduce a great Chinese astronaut — Chen Dong.
Born in Henan Province in 1978, Chen Dong dreamt of flying into space when he was in middle school. Although the training for astronauts was difficult and tiring, he never gave up his dream. Instead, he was determined to make his dream come true. He joined the People’s Liberation Army Air Force in 1997 and was chosen as a member of the Chinese astronaut team in 2010. In 2016, he successfully took off on Shenzhou-11 and stayed in space for about 30 days. In 2022, he went on his second space flight and served
as commander on the Shenzhou-14 mission. In 2025, he completed his third space flight on Shenzhou-20. As a result, he was given the title “Heroic Astronaut” because of his great contributions to China’s space industry.
In my opinion, Chen Dong is not only a great astronaut but also a true role model for young people like us. His experience inspires us to work hard for our dreams.
